TPS736: Moisture Sensitive Level

Part Number: TPS736

Hello, 

Need help to check the product history on moisture sensitive level for MPN TPS73601DBVR.

Per current info in TI website, the MSL for TPS73601DBVR is 1. 

However, we received the materials with MSL 3  indicated on TI label.

The material with old datecode:0406, lotcode: 4014563BRB.

Need help to confirm if we should treat these materials as MSL 1 or 3. 

Thanks.

  • Siao,

    This label seems incorrect. TPS73601DBVR is not even manufactured in MLA AT site! After checking at all the details, TPS73601DBVR  is Level 1 MSL.

    I strongly suggest that you check the device marking to ensure it's the correct device.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Prakash, 

    The device marking is PJFQ and match with the device marking info in datasheet. 

    We purchased the parts from TI's authorized distributor. Datecode: 0406, lotcode: 4014563BRB. 

    Parts were manufactured since 18 years ago and could it be MSL 3 at that time? If so, should we treat these parts as MSL3 and bake before use? 

    Appreciate your help to confirm again. 

    Thank you. 

  • Siao,

    I can't find this lotcode in our database and can't find this device being manufactured in MLA. However, I checked all the sites this device has been manufactured and found one of them show MSL2. If the information is correct, then I agree with you to bake before use to be on the safer side.

    Regards,
